The Chaleur & Restigouche is operated with a Digitrax Super Chief
Radio. The main throttle is a Dt-400 radio which is mostly used for
programming. I also use one Dt-300 radio throttle, one Dt-100 radio
throttle, two Ut-4 radio trotlles and two Ut-1 trottles when needed. All
trottles are equipped with a loop that is attached to an whistle holder or
identification card holder. These allow operators to drop the throttle
without it finding its way on the floor. It also leave the hand free to
hold the cards and the uncoupler. I have found that the best operating
throttles are the Ut-4R and the Dt-100R or Dt 300R. Eight Up-3 are
strategically located around the layout. Until a few years ago, I use to
operate the layout in an infrared and you will find a link as to where these
were located.
